Today, a brief summary of some of the latest news that will appear in the 2021 edition.

News that is news
In the next version: Oscar speeches
Some time ago, one of the players suggested that after winning an Oscar, it should bepossible to give an Oscar speech. In the new edition you will have this opportunity.
Screenwriter outsourcing
One of the proposals that has been scrolling among players for many years was the opportunity to hire an external screenwriter to create a script for you. In the next edition there will be such an option, although maybe in a slightly different form than some would like.
In the next version: Role proposal for the creator
In the 2021 Edition, assistants will receive a new feature. Thanks to them, you will be able to send a proposal for a role, in your scenario, to a specific creator.
In the next version: Cult Characters and set update 65
After I informed you that in the next version you will be able to add own monsters, I have received signals that you would also like to be able to add cult characters directly from the game. It is true that here the functionality is not so critical (cult characters can be easily added from MovieStats) but after thinking about it, I found that in total why not give you such an option as well.
Poll: Soundtrack to the game
Some players once asked me why there is no music in the game. The answer was pretty obvious as an indie game without a budget it was difficult to get enough music to use in the game. In addition, there would have to be a lot of it so that it would not get bored with players quickly during several hour-long sessions with the game. Another problem would be the variety of players' tastes. So in the end it was better to give it up completely.
Today, however, the possibilities are much greater.
2021 Edition Preview
I wanted to officially inform you that the work on 2021 Edition Movie Business 2 is already ongoing.

Movie Business 2020 Update 2
The next update of the 2020 Edition is now available. This time, in addition to the correction of significant bugs, it also contains a few novelties. For details I invite you to the rest of the post.
How to play Movie Business online
Biznes Filmowy nie posiada opcji grania zdalnie przez sieć i nie ma jej w najbliższych planach, niemniej w ramach testowania edycji 2020 oraz ogólnoświatowej pandemii ostatnio testowałem grę ze znajomym używając zdalnego połączenie. Wykorzystaliśmy do tego darmowy (do użytku niekomercyjnego) program Teamviewer to connect to other computers. It not only allows you to share the screen but also transmits sound. It worked really well.
So if you have any friends with whom you would like to play Movie Business, and you do not have the opportunity to meet, then this is a pretty good option to play online.
P.S. Yes I know that you are already looking forward to the new version ... the tests are still ongoing it was hard… ale chyba już jest bliżej niż dalej 🙂
In the next version... Scouting
Today, about one more idea before witcher inspiration. When starting the game, the player does not have enough cash resources to afford all the creators. Therefore, it often has to rely on young creators, fictional characters generated by the game. I have received voices from you that sometimes there are too few such characters. So I decided to introduce an additional option of hiring scouts looking for new talent.
In the next version... Creating profiles
Player profiles are one of the important elements of the game that allows not only to store player progress, trophies or his statistics, but also allows the use of the MovieStats website, where, among others, you can add your own suggestions of creators who would like to be in the game. Due to the development and expansion of the game's functionality, it is necessary to re-creation of the profile from time to time. Until now, it was a bit embarrassing if we already had our data in MovieStats. Now this process will be slightly easier thanks to the possibility of creating a new profile in the game, based on the existing profile in MovieStats.
In the next version... Monsters
Currently, there is an option in the Movie Business called cult characters which allows you to change the photo of characters playing iconic roles in famous films. In the new version, I will expand the ability to modify the displayed photos of the creators… with monsters!
In the next version... Cult vehicles
In the game we already have cult characters... this time it's time for cult vehicles ... What they are and how to get them.
Poll: Language versions of the promotional videos of the game
It seems to me that the marketing element of the Movie Business is somewhat neglected by me. The game is not popular enough as it could be and one of the facts is its insufficient promotion, e.g. the lack of more video materials presenting the game or selected elements of the game in a more detailed way.
In the next version... Cult scripts on the open market
Cult scripts are screenplays in Movie Business based on real films and data about them from IMDB website. They were introduced to add some flavore and immersion. It was not intended to be available for purchase for players. One player suggested the idea that you could buy an iconic scenario. Although I'm not sure if this is a good idea, this possibility will appear in the next version of the game.
In the next version... Press conferences and interviews
Some players pointed out to me that the game does not use the media aspect of Movie Business. Specifically, it was about contacting the press. In the new version, I will try to address this problem in the form of the possibility of organizing a press conference and interviews.
In the next version... Banquets
In the next edition of the game, you will see a new option to organize various kinds of events after the film's release.
In the next version… Photos of young talent
It is high time to share with you the first information about the 2020 edition of the game. Today, a small revolution associated with photos of young talents.
Movie Business 2019 Update 3
The next update of the Movie Business is now available. It contains mostly bug fixes (especially useful for players in career mode). Detailed information about the fixes can be found in version history.
In addition, game updates the set of creators to version 56that includes 4369 and more than 12 000 photos.
Game download from Download MB2
Special thanks to Chino Derien who reported problems with some career objectives and provide information so that I could quickly make fixes.
Remember when you find a bug/problem please inform me about it it significantly improves the process of troubleshooting. In the game there are several mechanisms to facilitate the search for problems and thanks to your help and additional information that you provide all the process improvement of the game is much faster.
Note: after the installation check whether you have the game marked as version v2019.0.3.19166. If the last number differs please unistall it and download again (the first installer contained an error, where there was a problem with unpacking creators photos).
Set Update version 53
Today another set update. Which contains73 creators and 131 photos.
The largest contributors to this update are:
- Arek
- andrew89
- Iván
- Vonder
The update will take place after launching a new game with the default set of creators (details can be found here).
After this update, the official set will contain 4275 creators.
P.S. The first update of the game itself is coming, so if you found any bugs that needs to be fixed this last days to let me know.
New features in MovieStats
We already have the premiere of Movie Business edition 2019 behind us (although soon the first update is planned to fix some bugs that have already been reported to me – if you had some, let me know). This does not mean, however, that I rest from work on the project. In the end, I could take a moment to work over MovieStats. And today about two functionalities that have appeared there (some of you have already used them).
In the next version.... Test screening
The 2018 Edition among the events that may appear during the production were those related to the reaction of the audience after the test screening. It was an event somewhat detached from the reality of the game, because the player could not organize such a show. Expanding the potential events in the course of production I decided to fix it. In the latest version on the occasion of major productions, just before the premiere, the player will be given the opportunity to organize such a test show. Its result will be feedback from viewers and critics, what went wrong in the film.
In the next version… Festival Gala
Festivals and awards are a very important element of the film world. In Movie Business they also play an important role. However, up to now, the celebration associated with festivals was not too great in the game. To say the truth, the player could even miss the fact that his film won the prize. In the new version it will change, in the end the festivals will definitely get a more celebrity setting ... thanks to the festival gal.
